SUMMARY:Tuesday  Drop in Guided Meditation Sessions\, Rigpa Newcastle.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday Drop-in Guided Meditation Sessions.\n12:30pm to 1:00pm.\nHeld at Rigpa Newcastle\, 2/2 Smith Street\, Charlestown. NSW. 2290.\n  \nThe first and basic practice of meditation is to allow the mind to settle into a state of ‘calm abiding’\, where it will find peace and stability. Training in mindfulness and calm abiding (shamatha) meditation pacifies our scattered minds\, defuses our powerful emotions and overcomes distraction. \nThese sessions are perfect for busy people without any meditation experience\, right through to seasoned meditators. Step by step guidance will help you build confidence in your own meditation practice and inspire you to establish a daily practice. \nDetails\n\n\nled by experienced meditators/ Rigpa instructors\nno booking required\nmultiple short sessions of meditation\nsome gentle guidance\ncushions and seats provided\nFree but donation welcome.

SUMMARY:The Four Seals: the hallmark of the Buddha’s teaching
DESCRIPTION:All that is conditioned is impermanent\,\nAll that is tainted is suffering\,\nAll phenomena are empty and devoid of self\,\nNirvana is peace. \nIt is often said that the mark of a real Buddhist is that they accept these four seals. These four statements encapsulate the uniqueness of the Buddha’s teachings and set those teachings apart from all other religions and philosophies. \nOur study of  The Four Seals  will continue for 15 weeks. It is suitable for students who have completed all or most of the earlier modules of the This Life course this year\, or\, who are familiar with The 4 Noble Truths and The 3 Yanas and have a regular meditation practice.\nRigpa’s policy is that financial difficulties should not be an obstacle to attending our courses. If this is an issue for you and attending this course\, please contact us at sydney@rigpa.org.au
